The Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science is brimming with activity in three vital disciplines: Mathematics; Statistics; and Computer Science. These fields can team up with almost any other discipline or interest---and also align well with many careers. Check us out!
Math Across the Cannon
On October 1, Prof. Rebecca Goldin of George Mason University and the nonprofit organization STATS will be delivering two lectures in Northfield. The first, at 3:30p.m. on Carleton College's campus is titled "An attempt to turn geometry into decorated graphs." The second lecture is titled "Should you believe it?" This will be held at 7:00 in Tomson 280 on the St. Olaf College campus. Full abstracts for the lectures and more information about Prof. Goldin is available here.
